John Halliday has received the con¬ tract to move the Point Lookout Life Saving Station. The contract with Mr. Halliday calls for the removal of the station a distance of 330 feet east of the present site, where it is thought it will be much safer.
This decision of Chairman Frank Stev¬ ens was made immediately after attor¬ ney Veeder, counsel for the transporta¬ tion company, had attempted to dismiss the charges that the operation of the line was iu the interest of tho Long Island Railroad Company; that it was operated in a dangerous munner and that rates of fare in excess of the charter limitations were charged.

The heavy storm of last Friday night and Saturday, with its accompanying big tides, forced the crew of the Point Lookout Life Saving Station to vacate thair headquarters and take refuge in Gobi's pavilion, nearly a mile away. I The lifpsavers could not stay in the j atation for the tide came into the building in such volume as to make it absolutely uninhabitable, while there waa danger that the buildipg itself woald be carried out to sea bodily.! Sueh a tide was never known there .before. The boat house was complete¬ ly wrecked by gale and tide.
The sea washed clesr over the beach, j and several of the cottages that were j moved bark were quite badly damaged. Several had their porchei carried away, while the supports of others were under¬ mined and the buildings allowed to drop down, straining the partitions and doing other damage.
At Nassau-by-the-Sea a small store building was partly demolished.
It ia feared that during some of the storms an inlet will be cut through the beach, in which event the damage to cottage and other property at the flast End will be very heavy.
Farther west, where the Estates of Long Beach is creating a second Atlan¬ tic City, there has been absolutely no damage done by any et the storms; on tba contrary, the beach is made out and baan improved. This is due to tha prMeitGe«of a bar off the beach at that point* wbich serves as a break-

A stiff west wind was blowing too but with this addi¬ tional difliculty the building was not allowed to burn down, and nearly all the furaiture was removed from the house. The entire roof was burned off and the reat of the building gutted by the water, but there was not much fire excepting in the attic and kitchen.
Attention was called by this fire again to the indisputable fact that our firemen must have more money for equipment. There was not enough hose on the wagons to lay another line and not enough coats and boots to fit out half the men on the work. At

While it is doubtful if the Commission will yet require the double tracking of the sys¬ tem for its entire length and may have the same idea about fares, it is epxected»that some good wmII result, in the betterment of service in various ways.

School Notes
Next Friday and Saturday afternoon, February 14 and 15, a picture exhibit will be held in the kindergarten room and halls of the Seaman Avenue school building. This exhibit has been loan¬ ed to the school by the Horace K. Tur¬ ner people of Beaton. It contains an interesting collection of 200 of the beat educational pictures, and repro¬ ductions from the galleries of Europe and America.
The object of the exhibit is to raise funds with which to buy pictures for the walls of the new building. A small admission will be charged. Thia will be an excellent opportunity to see the new building as well as to enjoy the pictures and help the school.
Owing to the crowded"" condition
everyone will take advantage of this opportunity to make themselves ac¬ quainted with their latest acquisition. Dedication exercises will be held on the afternoon of February 12 (Lin¬ coln's birthday) at 2 o'clock. An in¬ teresting program has been prepared which includes remarks by several well-known speakers. Everyone is in¬ vited to attend.

John Halliday has received the con¬ tract to move the Point Lookout Life Saving Station. The contract with Mr. Halliday calls for the removal of the station a distance of 330 feet east of the present site, where it is thought it will be much safer.
This decision of Chairman Frank Stev¬ ens was made immediately after attor¬ ney Veeder, counsel for the transporta¬ tion company, had attempted to dismiss the charges that the operation of the line was iu the interest of tho Long Island Railroad Company; that it was operated in a dangerous munner and that rates of fare in excess of the charter limitations were charged. Turning to President Frank L. Fuller, of the Traction Company, Mr. Stev¬ ens answered as follows:

The heavy storm of last Friday night and Saturday, with its accompanying big tides, forced the crew of the Point Lookout Life Saving Station to vacate thair headquarters and take refuge in Gobi's pavilion, nearly a mile away. I The lifpsavers could not stay in the j atation for the tide came into the building in such volume as to make it absolutely uninhabitable, while there waa danger that the buildipg itself woald be carried out to sea bodily.! Sueh a tide was never known there .before. The boat house was complete¬ ly wrecked by gale and tide.
The sea washed clesr over the beach, j and several of the cottages that were j moved bark were quite badly damaged. Several had their porchei carried away, while the supports of others were under¬ mined and the buildings allowed to drop down, straining the partitions and doing other damage.
At Nassau-by-the-Sea a small store building was partly demolished.
It ia feared that during some of the storms an inlet will be cut through the beach, in which event the damage to cottage and other property at the flast End will be very heavy.
Farther west, where the Estates of Long Beach is creating a second Atlan¬ tic City, there has been absolutely no damage done by any et the storms; on tba contrary, the beach is made out and baan improved. This is due to tha prMeitGe«of a bar off the beach at that point* wbich serves as a break-

A stiff west wind was blowing too but with this addi¬ tional difliculty the building was not allowed to burn down, and nearly all the furaiture was removed from the house. The entire roof was burned off and the reat of the building gutted by the water, but there was not much fire excepting in the attic and kitchen.
Attention was called by this fire again to the indisputable fact that our firemen must have more money for equipment. There was not enough hose on the wagons to lay another line and not enough coats and boots to fit out half the men on the work. At

School Notes
Next Friday and Saturday afternoon, February 14 and 15, a picture exhibit will be held in the kindergarten room and halls of the Seaman Avenue school building. This exhibit has been loan¬ ed to the school by the Horace K. Tur¬ ner people of Beaton. It contains an interesting collection of 200 of the beat educational pictures, and repro¬ ductions from the galleries of Europe and America.
The object of the exhibit is to raise funds with which to buy pictures for the walls of the new building. A small admission will be charged. Thia will be an excellent opportunity to see the new building as well as to enjoy the pictures and help the school.
Owing to the crowded"" condition
everyone will take advantage of this opportunity to make themselves ac¬ quainted with their latest acquisition. Dedication exercises will be held on the afternoon of February 12 (Lin¬ coln's birthday) at 2 o'clock. An in¬ teresting program has been prepared which includes remarks by several well-known speakers. Everyone is in¬ vited to attend.
